I'm sure they would argue that the primary impact is higher prices (of housing especially), not higher salaries and tips. If you have a few new high income people come into a neighborhood, that feels like some extra dollars coming into

Well I can't dispute Fred and Hud. I wonder if the discrepancy has to do with the harvard data only considering metro areas, and metro areas having significantly higher incomes but possibly not significantly higher median house price.

The text "1989" isn't in the article I linked. You may have meant "1988". But I'm not trying to assert that the headline of the article or the comparisons it makes are worthwhile. I'm just referencing some

I can't find too much direct historical data on this, but this article says the price to income ratio for Seattle in 1998 was 2.5, and their chart says the 50th percentile was around 3.0 in that year. https://www.jchs.harvar

Rule number one when you get fired is don't sign anything on your way out the door. Crazy that a Facebook exec wouldn't be aware of that advice or ignored it. I got offered a small severance after a recent layoff. Severance agreem

You just pay the tax. 10% early withdrawal penalty plus about 10% federal income tax up to about $50k. Obviously it would be nice to not have to pay that tax at all by waiting until retirement age, but depending on your cost basis and your

I'm hitting 2 years after a massive layoff at my previous job. I've worked in more or less all the major languages and tech stacks doing fullstack web + cloud infra + desktop apps for startups in various sectors. First year was a

1. Does this mean I have to disable IDE autosave so it doesn't attempt to run tests when the project is in an intermediate, invalid state? 2. How does it detect what tests need to be re-run when a given file changes?

The difference here isn't the instrument, it's musical composition vs performance. You can compose and edit piano works in a DAW, or you can perform those piano works on a piano.

Meanwhile in Italy, you will pay typically €1 for an espresso and €1.50 for a cappuccino. No option to tip. And the drink is ready 10 seconds after the 30 seconds that it takes the machine to extract after you order. No latte art and no wai

Uncompressed 2ch 44.1kHz 16bit PCM is only 1.4Mbps. Even 7.1ch 96khz 24bit is only 18.4Mbps. Should be plenty of headroom even on "only" 100Mbps.

Strictly speaking, there's no reason anyone "needs" generator functions. Instead of pausing the function execution at each `yield` statement, you can just write a regular (non-generator) function that returns a struct includi

I read that line as deference to those who are dying of cancer and recognition that their plight is worse than his. I don't see how that's disrespectful to those dying of cancer or would make them uncomfortable.

It's no "error" (ha) that you can't exactly represent 5/3 in base 2 number system - it can only represent numbers of the form (-1)^a*2^b*c for integer a,b,c. If you are trying to perform repeated calculations that a
